Using VM to get around VPN restrictions
One major problem I have is corporate IT policy (Oh, I'm not alone then? :) ) Specifically that if I'm off-site using a VPN connection, I cannot link to anything outside that VPN connection. So my local printer at home is off-limits unless I disconnect - a simplistic example of the hampering. I've been pondering whether a VM machine ...
In C++/Windows how do I get the network name of the computer I'm on?
In a C++ Windows (XP and NT, if it makes a difference) application I'm working on, I need to get the network name associated with the computer the code is executing on, so that I can convert local filenames from C:\filename.ext to \\network_name\C$\filename.ext. How would I do this? Alternatively, if there's a function that will just do...
Windows/C++: How do I determine the share name associated with a shared drive?
Let's say I have a drive such as "C:\", and I want to find out if it's shared and what it's share name (e.g. "C$") is. To find out if it's shared, I can use NetShareCheck. How do I then map the drive to its share name? I thought that NetShareGetInfo would do it, but it looks like that takes the share name, not the local drive name, as ...

Configure a Java Socket to fail-fast on disconnect?
Hi, I have a listening port on my server that I'm connecting to using a Java class and the Socket interface, i.e. Socket mySocket = new Socket(host,port); I then grab an OutputStream, decorate with a PrintWriter in autoflush mode and I'm laughing - except if the listening port closes. Then I get tcp4 0 0 *.9999 ...

How do you get the maximum number of bytes that can be passed to a sendto(..) call for a socket opened as a UDP port? ...
Reconnect logic with connectivity notifications
Say I have an application that wants a persistant connection to a server. How do I implement connection/reconnection logic so that I'm not wasting resources (power/bandwidth) and I have fast reconnect time when connectivity appears/improves? If I only use connectivity notifications, I can get stuck on problems not related to the local ne...
Revoke shared folders in windows
Over the last few months/years, I have shared a folder or two with numerous people on my domain. How do I easily revoke those shares to keep access to my system nice and tidy? ...
How to avoid pauses when editing code on a network drive?
I'm planning on doing more coding from home but in order to do so, I need to be able to edit files on a Samba drive on our dev server. The problem I've run into with several editors is that the network latency causes the editor to lock up for long periods of time (Eclipse, TextMate). Some editors cope with this a lot better than others, ...
What's the idiomatic way to do async socket programming in Delphi?
What is the normal way people writing network code in Delphi use Windows-style overlapped asynchronous socket I/O? Here's my prior research into this question: The Indy components seem entirely synchronous. On the other hand, while ScktComp unit does use WSAAsyncSelect, it basically only asynchronizes a BSD-style multiplexed socket app...
Tool for degrading my network connection?
I've written some applications than heavily use network, and I would to test it over a slow network. I'm looking for a tool to simulate this kind of connections. Edit: I'm only interested in Windows tools ...
Dealing with Latency in Networked Games
I'm thinking about making a networked game. I'm a little new to this, and have already run into a lot of issues trying to put together a good plan for dead reckoning and network latency, so I'd love to see some good literature on the topic. I'll describe the methods I've considered. Originally, I just sent the player's input to the se...
Determining members of local groups via C#
I wondered whether anybody knows how to obtain membership of local groups on a remote server programmatically via C#. Would this require administrator permissions? And if so is there any way to confirm the currently logged in user's membership (or not) of these groups? ...
Track down where packets are being blocked/droped
When I was in China my company's website was blocked for about 24 hours. I assume it was the "Great Chinese Firewall" but I was wondering if there is anyway that I can find out exactly where a packet or TCP/IP connection gets blocked. I was able to verify that it wasn't being blocked at our end(I used the local host file to point to th...
Best tool to monitor network connection bandwidth
I'm looking for a very simple tool to monitor the bandwidth of all my applications. No need for extra features like traffic spying, I'm just interested by bandwidth. I already know Wireshark (which is great), but what I'm looking for is more something like TcpView (great tool from Sysinternals) with current bandwidth indication. PS: I...
Push or Pull for a near real time automation server?
We are currently developing a server whereby a client requests interest in changes to specific data elements and when that data changes the server pushes the data back to the client. There has vigorous debate at work about whether or not it would be better for the client to poll for this data. What is considered to be the ideal method,...
Should I use a dedicated network channel between the database and the application server?
Should I use a dedicated network channel between the database and the application server? ...or... Connecting both in the switch along with all other computer nodes makes no diference at all? The matter is performance! ...
Loading Assemblies from the Network
This is related to the this question and the answer maybe the same but I'll ask anyways. I understand that we can start managed executables from the network from .NET 3.5 SP1 but what about assemblies loaded from inside the executable? Does the same thing apply? ...

I have a network C++ program in Windows that I'd like to test for network disconnects at various times. What are my options? Currently I am: Actually disconnecting the network wire from the back of my computer using ipconfig /release Using the cports program to close out the socket completely None of these methods though are ideal ...
